Quite old. They already had blue handles in 2007.

This looks like a step back. They practically made the weak point even weaker.

That one seems to work a lot better. If I do those motions it's likely to totally slip out of my hand. I checked out 2 videos made by some Russian guy, one is about disassembly/repair. The ARS has no spring either, but it somehow seems to have more resistance. My Felco rotates so freely that...

I bought the Felco 7 a few days ago and I kinda regret it. It's the one with the rotating handle which is a great concept, but it freely rotates 180 degrees with practically 0 friction. I expected about a 90 degree rotation with some spring pulling it back to its initial position (and creating a...

Wera has been **** for the past few years. I've been telling people about it and I got a ton of downvotes from fanboys on reddit for doing so. The decline started maybe a year before they released that turbo screwdriver that can sacrifice torque for speed.

I honestly can't complain about Unior. My father has a few pliers (combi and long nose) and they're still top notch after 1-2 decades despite my father not really taking much care of his tools. I have e-torx sockets and they're absolutely flawless. Regarding prices, well, they're on the high...

As far as I can tell the short one is for C types, and the longer one is for both C and E, but don't quote me on that.

Most of us agree on the direction switch. I can understand oily fingers, but accidentally switching is so much worse.

They are made somewhere in Lower Saxony. Can't narrow it down any further either.

Couldn't find it, but 261, 262, 265, 266 are all tools for changing oil. I imagine it's for removing an oil cap on some smaller engine like a lawn mower or something.

My USAG 235X 1/4" sockets I ordered last week arrived (in a crumpled box despite saying "fragile", so f. you, GLS). For those of you wondering I got them from Workshop Italy, same as my 285X set. The Facom version is also available and would have been a bit cheaper as well (higher price, but...

Taiwanese hammer you mean rebranded as Facom.

It's really nice, I have the 1/2" version
